Odd Couple Auditions Saturday and Monday for Winni Playhouse production

LACONIA — The award-winning Winni Players, the community theatre branch of The Winnipesaukee Playhouse, are looking for local men and women to audition for both the male and female versions of Neil Simon's The Odd Couple.

Auditions will be held at the education building of The Winnipesaukee Playhouse's Meredith Campus at 50 Reservoir Road on Saturday, August 25 at 1 p.m. and Monday, August 27 at 6:30 p.m. Callbacks are scheduled for Tuesday, August 28 at 6:30 p.m.

This is Neil Simon's classic comedy featuring the infamous couple Oscar Madison and Felix Unger, or, in the female version Olive Madison and Florence Unger. One great play, two versions, two casts, under one roof: Oscar and Felix versus Olive and Florence.

Male and female versions will be performed on alternating nights the first two weekends of November.

Auditions will be comprised of cold readings from the script, as well as some improvisational work (alone as well as in pairs or small groups). Familiarization with the plot and characters is recommended, though not required. Those auditioning need

only attend one of the audition times. Sides will be provided.

Rehearsals for the female version are Sunday afternoons and Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Rehearsals for the

male version are Sunday, Monday and Wednesday evenings.
